We’ve had a lot of ‘Super’ in Superman over the years, and I’m happy to have made a movie that focuses on the ‘man’ part of the equation – a kind person always looking out for those in need. That that resonates so powerfully with so many people across the world is in itself a hopeful testament to the kindness and quality of human beings.

"Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan," added Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. "The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

David Corenswet’s well-rounded portrayal of the iconic Superman has been a hit with fans, resulting in explosive early box office numbers. The James Gunn-directed film was highly anticipated, and based on the early reviews from critics and fans alike,

James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet in the cape, has had an impressive start at the Indian box office, despite a noticeable dip in collections on its first Monday. The reboot has outperformed current Bollywood releases and is already among the top-performing Hollywood films of 2025 in India.

James Gunn’s Superman, starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, released in theatres on July 11, 2025. It had a promising start in India on the first day of its release, and witnessed a sharp rise in its collections on day 2 and day 3. But on day 4, on its first Monday, the superhero film saw a huge dip in its earnings.

James Gunn's Superman experienced a significant drop in India box office earnings on its first Monday, earning an estimated Rs 2.25 crore. Despite a strong opening weekend totaling Rs 26 crore, the film's Monday numbers reflect a typical weekday slowdown.

Also, it’s another great start for the summer box office, the second $100M+ opening after Lilo & Stitch ‘s $146M. Superman cost before P&A $225M net. Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel opened to $116.6M back in 2013, unadjusted for inflation.

DC fans have hilariously thanked former “Black Adam” actor Dwayne Johnson for James Gunn’s “Superman” success, which opened nationally in theaters Friday and raked in the year’s best box office preview total with $22.5 million.
